## EPF Dev Update #1
The first week's goal was to validate the projects from the mentors assigned to the [Ethereum fellowhip #3](https://blog.ethereum.org/2022/09/01/ethereum-protocol-fellowship-third) participants and famaliarize with the current develpment status. The program also incourages the participants to tackle the open problems from [current](https://blog.ethereum.org/2022/09/01/ethereum-protocol-fellowship-third) & [previous cohorts]().
I am excited to join the program. I do plan to grab this opprtunity to tackle on more than one problem in this cohort.
### Progress this week
After going through the [open list](https://blog.ethereum.org/2022/09/01/ethereum-protocol-fellowship-third) of problem statements mention in the current & previous fellowship repo. I shortlisted the following projects to work on as they seem intresting & could help the core devs.
- [`On-chain analysis of missed attestations`](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-one/issues/29) by [`Potuz`](https://github.com/potuz)
- `CL + MEV software` by [`Alex Stokes`](https://github.com/ralexstokes)
- `Tooling useful for debugging CL and EL` by [`Paritosh`](https://github.com/parithosh)
- `Forkchoice fuzzer: Test different attack scenarios for our consensus algorithm` by `Potuz`

Currently, I plan to work on `On-chain analysis of missed attestations` after discussing with `Potuz`. 
### Next steps
Since I need to work with attestation data I plan to tackle this from a research & developemnt perspective to get the better & clearer picture. Listing few here for future references.
- Gather Reading/watching materal to understand the overall system.
    - [`Ethereum.org Attestation`](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/consensus-mechanisms/pos/attestations/)
    - [`Combining GHOST and Casper`](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.03052.pdf)
    - [`Github BeaconSpec`](https://github.com/ethereum/annotated-spec/blob/master/phase0/beacon-chain.md#attestationdata)
    - [`Eth2Book`](https://eth2book.info/altair/part3/containers/dependencies#attestationdata)
    - [`Nimbus Attestation`](https://nimbus.guide/attestation-performance.html)
- Identify key metrics that will shown in the dashboard.
- Identify existing tools for gathering blockchain data.

Let's see how this goes. That's all for now.
